Default Spare 35" on rear door setup advice needed! Thanks!

I had my spare 35x12.5 wheel on my back door earlier in the year and i decided to take it off cause it was making some unhealthy noises. The problem is i have a good bit of money in my spare wheel setup and i would like to keep it back there without spending a ton of money on bumpers/tire carrier ( just bought a house, money is tight currently). I had a spacer from rough country on the stock tire carrier which moved it farther away from the door which probobly made it worse.

Any one have any advice on how to carry a spare 35 on the back in a more solid manner? Let me know what you think

thanks!

My door welds started coming apart when I had my 35" on it. I had to re weld so it would stop squeaking. I eventually got a carrier. Good luck man.

With my procomp rim it actually sits on the bumper when the tailgate is closed.

I think if you get those longer vibration dampners from daystar, that may help.

Same as me.

IF my spare were aired up to 35-40 pounds it would not fit; however, with only 10 pounds of air it closes and rests on the rear bumper just fine. No movement at all. I have an onboard air compressor in the Jeep so I don't mind the spare not being aired all the way up.

They help it make less noise in my case and for about $20 its worth a shot. Other than that a true solution is the or-fab for about $500 or the rancho rear bumper for about $500.
